That bike is wicked!

I presume that you bought the bike used, Charge, (3 years old)? Otherwise I would guess that Specialized would exchange it? Nasty? And, yeah, guys… most structures around the US have outdoor power receptacles. The whole trick for the OP is to find safe routes and bike-friendly...

Ambitious undertaking, Wally! Good on you! I think you have a right to be concerned about these things, but I suspect you’ll be staying off the interstate hotel/accommodation ecosystem and will therefore likely be welcomed along as you make this journey. There may be software to help you plan...

Bwahahaha!!!!

Five guys. Fries cooked in peanut oil. That is all.

What’re you waiting for, slap?! :D

I wonder if it’s blinking a code at you, @hondasi88 Once upon a time on-board diagnostics (OBD) in cars used to do that. Maybe the controller is trying to tell you something. Dunno. I’ll bet there’s some sensor feedback expected at the controller, like speed or cadence, that needs to be...

Is it this bike? If so, are you sure about the voltage? I.e., 36V will be undervoltage for this model. Anyway, best wishes in diagnosing. It’d really be best if you could test with a working (stock) battery as many things could be wrong other than the battery (as Gionni pointed out).

Yeah, more s*it to worry about, right Spoke? My Star Union taillight takes a couple of AAs. It was stock with Fättie. It either blinks or it’s solid. There’s no connection to the braking system (which is a little unfortunate). I don’t use rechargeables, so I just replace when the thing goes...

BearWithGPS.com ??

I call it Burger Death. I don’t know if that’s something that other people call it. To be honest, I eat at Burger Death probably once a fortnight. I figure I’m pretty close to death anyway. :)

Hey, Mike, if you can, please take some pictures/vids of this. Would love to see it. Obviously, though, be careful!!!

link, I know you’re very experienced at this, but sometimes I find people forget or get caught off guard… Have you checked your spokes? It’s easy to mistake a rhythmic ticking from the hub as a motor problem when it’s just unbalanced spokes shifting around in the hub.

Can’t offer any experience or advice, Stan, but I’ve heard quite a lot of praises sung toward electronic shifters (and especially wireless controls for same). My friend who competes and rides extensively swears by them. Of course, he’s a bike store owner and maybe he’s a little jaded toward...

Brian, good luck with your efforts, whatever you choose to do. I know what I would do in your situation, not that it’s relevant (hint: I fought a mountain bike speeding ticket years ago in Marin). :) Dave, that’s good to know that Michigan allows this exemption. Totally makes sense. There...

Or, another option, spoke, is to cap/disconnect the wire and use a battery-powered (self) tail light instead. That’s (unfortunately) what I have on my Juiced RipCurrent. Juiced had an upgraded controller with a powered tail light, and that was great, but I had to revert to the stock controller...

I couldn’t agree more.

Little point in us having a discussion about this, Stefan. Have a nice day.

Clearly not the whole of Europe, Stefan since we’re talking about upping performance right here. I don’t know why you guys would put up with 15MPH limits. That’s absurd to me.

That’ll really haul ass! Good luck with the conversion!
